Fred, This may be true, especially for extremely sensitive applications like you list, but I think for the 20 pings / 5 minutes that I have smokeping set to it will be alright. If I have a server that gets that busy, I'll probably have other issues to worry about. :-) I'll be sure to report any future issues with smokeping to the list.

Voip phone systems have the same issue with audio recording, playing back and it becomes very evident with conferencing as the number of people in it increases. The solution for most of them is to get a hardware board that they can use as a timing device (all analog to digital conversion boards have a clock that you can sync to). The adjustments mentioned do help but if the box becomes busy (do to any VM's load) you'll still have the issue. _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
